Subject: Highlighting the problems of water logging on roads during Monsoon
Sir/ Ma'am,
I want to draw the attention of the readers of this reputed Newspaper to the problem of water logging on the roads of New Delhi.
Water logging on the roads is a common scene during Monsoon in many urban areas. But from last year it has increased so much that going out to work is a hasty work for the people living in Delhi.
The water logging is mainly due the blockage of the manholes and drains. But what blocks them? Yes the plastic materials that we throw here and there. Whose fault is it ? Many will tell it's because of the negligence of government officials. But in reality it's us who are creating the problems. What's the use of blaming the workers for it? They do their work, but many of us, the educated citizens don't do our duty. Why don't we drop the plastics in the dustbins?
The blockage of manholes and drains result in blocking the path by which unhygienic and used water move out of the town. During monsoon as the drains overflow, this results in the logging of water on the roads. Apart from creating traffic jams, it's extremely unhygienic. Let's come forward to act together to make a clean and hygienic environment, by disposing plastics at the correct places.
Thanking you,

Subject :- Highlighting the problems related to water logging and suggesting measures to control this problem
Respected Sir,
Through your columns of your newspaper, I want to highlight the serious problem named " WATER LOGGING", which is faced by the people of Shakarpur from few weeks.I know this problem is quite common in monsoon everywhere, but it is different this year.
The level is increasing drastically, which is becoming a difficulty for the daily life of the residents here. Childern going to school and People going to their offices/work faces a lot problems, traffic jams and these are not the only one in list.
Is Water logging common? Yes,it is but the cause of this "PLASTIC", is also very common.We have the visible root of problem, but we are making it invisible.In our daily life, we use plastics a lot and throw it here and there, then it monsoon it creates a lot to everyone. There is not only person, who is responsible for this.Actually, The whole society is responsible for this.We blame others , our sweepers, that they are not doing thier work properly, but think for a second, as a human being , as a social being , is it not your responsibility to keep your surroundings clean ? , Is it not your responsibility to aware others ?, Is it not your responsibility to use dustbins? , I think it is.
As I said earlier, the problem just not stop here. It comes along with other ones too.It spreads a lot of diseases(dengue,Malaria), etc.So, why don't we cut the root and detach us from this problem.
I hope that my thoughts will make the affected people take some healthy and positive actions.
Thankyou
Yours Sincerely
Somya
